"Where is your manager?" Nanny Chen frowned as she looked at the guy who was blocking the way.

"Who are you? There are so many people who want to find our manager, who do you think you are?" The waiter looked Nanny Chen up and down, noticed her unfriendly expression, and made sarcastic remarks.

Although Nanny Chen was well-dressed and looked like a nanny from a wealthy family, a servant was just a servant.

Their jewelry store's business is so prosperous, and behind it is the Lin'an Marquis' Mansion. Not to mention a mere nanny, even the ladies of some other family would have to give their manager some face.

Nanny Chen's eyes widened, she couldn't believe that a small waiter not only dared to stop her, but also dared to ridicule her in front of everyone. She was immediately furious.

"What's your name, man? How dare you speak to me like that? Do you believe I can have someone deal with you?"

"Deal with me? Humph!" Unexpectedly, the guy was not afraid of Nanny Chen at all. Instead, he laughed at her.

"Why don't you take a look at yourself first? You look so bloated. It seems like the food in your house is pretty good. The livestock that my family used for New Year's celebrations in previous years couldn't feed you a body as fat and strong as you."

Hearing these extremely insulting words, Nanny Chen's eyes turned dark and she almost fainted.

Even in the Marquis' Mansion, An Qingqian had never insulted him like this. This damn guy actually dared to say such things.

"You, you, you are so outrageous!" Nanny Chen stretched out her trembling hand and pointed at the waiter in front of her.

At this time, another person who came with Nanny Chen stood up.

"You dog slave, open your dog eyes and see, we are from the Lin'an Marquis's Mansion, we are your masters, you actually dared to insult Chen Ma Ma who is beside the old lady, you deserve to die."

After hearing this, the guy hesitated. Could it be that they were really from the Lin'an Marquis Mansion?

However, he had been here for more than four months and had never seen this so-called Nanny Chen, let alone heard of her.

Therefore, he concluded that the people in front of him were pretending to be from the Marquis' Mansion and came here deliberately to cause trouble.

Seeing that the waiter in front of her hesitated, Nanny Chen thought that he had figured out his identity and was about to scold him.

However, he didn't expect that the waiter would call a few people to kick Nanny Chen out.

"Really? Anybody can come and show off in front of me, and even dare to pretend to be someone from the Marquis' Mansion. They simply don't know how to live or die."

The guy snorted twice, patted his sleeves, and turned to walk towards the backyard.

Nanny Chen felt that she had never been insulted like this before and fainted on the ground in anger.

The people behind him didn't have time to explain anything to the people in the jewelry store and could only take Nanny Chen back first.

It was already the next morning when Nanny Chen appeared again.

This time, Nanny Chen brought a few more servants with her, and also took the token from the mansion, and ran over to settle the account with that guy.

When I entered the door, I didn't see the guy from yesterday.

When others saw a group of people coming, they quickly ran over to greet them.

This time, Nanny Chen had experience, so she stopped talking and directly took out the token of the Marquis' Mansion.

Sure enough, the guy who came over saw the token and took Nanny Chen directly to the backyard.

"Wait, where is that guy from yesterday afternoon?" Nanny Chen planned to avenge herself first.

"I don't know who Madam is talking about?" The waiter looked confused.

"He was the guy who asked someone to kick me out yesterday. He was wearing a gray gown and had a very arrogant attitude." Nanny Chen said with a sullen face.

"Oh, Mammy, you are talking about Wang Xiaowu, right? He is taking a break today and is not in the shop."

"Send someone to bring him back to me immediately." Nanny Chen would definitely not let Wang Xiaowu go easily.

"Yes, I will send someone to find him right away."

After explaining this matter, Nanny Chen took people to Manager Zhang's room.

However, as soon as she entered the yard of Manager Zhang, she smelled a very strong smell of medicine.

Moreover, the smell of this medicine was somewhat familiar, as if she had smelled it somewhere before.

Nanny Chen didn't have time to think too much. The main purpose of her coming here today was to get the silver.

As for who was injured in the yard, it had nothing to do with her.

However, as soon as she pushed open the door of Manager Zhang's room, she saw Manager Zhang lying weakly on the bed.

"What's going on?" Seeing Manager Zhang's expression, Nanny Chen was filled with disbelief.

Why does he look like he's seriously injured?

When Manager Zhang’s wife saw Nanny Chen, she threw herself on her and began to cry.

From her fragmentary words, Nanny Chen finally understood what had happened.

It turned out that yesterday, Manager Zhang also followed Xue Wanxian into the palace to act as a witness and sue An Qingqian, but he didn't expect that An Qingqian had prepared more.

Therefore, the emperor not only punished Xue Wanxian, but also beat up the witnesses including Zhang Guanshi who went into the imperial study to testify.

The maid who gave false testimony was too frail to bear the punishment. She died on the way out of the palace shortly after the execution yesterday.

Xue Wanxian was sent back almost half dead, so Nanny Chen and others had no idea that Steward Zhang was also beaten, and it seemed that his injuries were more serious than Xue Wanxian's.

"Manager Zhang, you have to take good care of your injuries. When I return, I will ask the old lady to send you some supplements."

After resting for a night, Manager Zhang's injuries had not recovered much, but he was in better spirits than yesterday and could barely speak.

"Madame Chen, please thank the old lady for me." Manager Zhang spoke while enduring the pain.

"You should take good care of your injuries. I will report this matter to my wife when I return." Zhang and Nanny Chen did not know what exactly happened in the palace yesterday, but they knew that Xue Wanxian's punishment had a lot to do with An Qingqian.

Xue Wanxian was not in good condition and An Qingqian kept silent, so even if they wanted to ask, there was no place for them.

Today, I finally learned from Manager Zhang what exactly happened.

"Thank you, Madam Chen."

"It's okay. By the way, the main reason I came here today was to tell the managers of the other shops to send all the silver to the Marquis' Mansion within a few days.

The old lady has already taken back the household expenses of the Marquis' Mansion, and now is the time when she needs money."

"What, silver? Didn't the Marquis tell you? The silver has not been in my hands or the hands of the stewards for a long time." Steward Zhang thought that Nanny Chen came here today to show concern for him, but he didn't expect that it was for the silver.

"It's not in your hands? Then where did it go?" Nanny Chen was a little surprised.

"The Marquis came back yesterday. He was seriously injured and couldn't speak, so he didn't say anything."

"Madam Chen, more than four months ago, An Qingqian sent someone here to force us to pay back all the money we owed over the past three years."
